Blue Corn Tortillas 1kg (40)

Product Information

Tortillas are a type of flatbread that is typically made from specific cornmeal that originated in Mexico but are now popular all over the world. They can be eaten plain or folded and filled with various ingredients, such as shredded pork carnitas or juicy birria, vegetables, cheeses, and fresh salsas. You can also smash out the balls of dough using a heavy skillet or pie plate, just make sure to cover your work surface and the bottom of the skillet or pie dish with plastic wrap just like the tortilla press.
